HEART Zones

In Kōtuku we use our HEART Zones during the day. These are fun and exciting play based activities that we use when we are not at our learning groups. We also have a learning coach helping us to extend out thinking during this time. 

This is what we have decided we need to remember while we are at HEART Zones. 

Wigram HEART Values

We have been learning about the Wigram HEART Values: Hauroa, Explore, Aspire, Respect and Taonga. 

Please feel free to come in and check out our display showing what the values mean to us. We will keep adding to this throughout the year!

Caring for Our iPads

In Kōtuku today we learned about how to take care of our iPads. This keeps them safe so we don't damage or break them. Here are some of the new rules we learned.

Hugging and holding our iPads

Placing the iPad on a flat surface

Stack the iPads 4 high

Touch the screen gently

Wigram Values
